Using Your Stylistic ST5000 Operation of the Bridge Battery When installed in the Tablet PC, the battery provides power to some system components-even when the system is in the Off state. When the battery is removed, power is supplied to these components by a "bridge" battery that is built into the Tablet PC. The bridge battery is not designed for long-term operation. To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the following measures: • The bridge battery function is disabled if Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS. • The system arrives with the bridge battery in a discharged state. Be sure to charge it sufficiently before relying upon it to support the system in the event of battery removal. Note that MagicGate functions are not supported by this slot. Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed by Sony Electronics. Memory Stick allows you to record, transfer and share digital content, such as digital pictures, movies, music, voice, and computer data and applications. Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory Sticks, but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD Cards allow portable storage among a variety of devices, such as cell phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and PDAs. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with low battery consumption. Like the memory stick, it uses flash memory architecture. • To prevent draining the bridge battery, always store the system with a charged battery installed. • If the bridge battery becomes drained, it takes approximately 8 hours for it to be fully recharged. • The bridge battery charges when the AC Adapter is connected and the system is in On or Off states or Suspend mode. It charges from the battery only when the system is in the On state. MODEM CONNECTION The internal 56 Kbps LAN/modem module installed in the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC has actual maximum transfer rates of 53 Kbps (receive), 33.6 Kbps (send), and 14.4 Kbps (fax). Download rates are limited to 53 Kbps in the United States due to FCC restrictions. The Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC is designed to accept a standard RJ-11 telephone plug. Connect the plug to the modem jack located on the left-hand side of the Tablet PC (See Figure 1-5 on page 6 for location). The telephone plug can be inserted whether or not the Tablet PC has power applied. If you need assistance configuring the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC modem or LAN, contact your local help desk or reseller. MEMORY STICK/SD CARD SLOT Your Tablet PC supports Memory Stick and SD flash memory cards on which you can store and transfer data to and from a variety of digital devices. These cards use flash memory architecture, which means they don't need a power source to retain data. Figure 2-5. Memory Stick and Secure Digital Card Inserting Memory Stick/SD Cards Memory Sticks and SD Cards are inserted in the Memory Stick/SD Card slot (Figure 1-4). To insert a Memory Stick or SD Card, follow these steps: ■ Inserting or removing a Memory Stick or SD Card during your system's shutdown or bootup process may damage the card and/or your computer. ■ Do not insert a card into a slot if there is water or any other substance on the card as you may permanently damage the card, your Tablet PC, or both. 1. See your Memory Stick or SD Card manual for instructions on the insertion of your card. Some cards may require that your system is off while inserting them. 2. Make sure there is no card currently in the slot. If there is, see Removing a Memory Stick/SD Card. 3. Insert your card into the slot with the product label facing up. 4. Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in the connector. 27
